Not only are you using port 80 but data to their proxies is encrypted. Try these after you set your BT client to run through it. Max TCP Half Open connections 5 max connections per task 10 max global upload slots 20 Socket start interval 10000 ms. Make sure you temporarily set your browser to use it for some trackers to login to the site so it picks up the IP of the proxy and updates or you may see in the log "Remote Server Rejected Connection" or peer connections may be bad. Those parameters give decent speeds though I have higher ones set by having a traffic shaper running on my pc called cfosspeed. Had it give the app priority and the BT client a little less.

9.4 Why does TalkTalk put network controls in place with P2P networks?

TalkTalk owes a duty to all our Broadband users to both preserve network integrity and avoid network degradation. If, in our reasonable opinion, we believe P2P usage has, or may adversely affect, such network integrity or may cause network degradation for the majority of users we may control the transmission speed of selected ports.

9.5 Does TalkTalk use network controls to affect gaming or other legitimate download services?

The techniques used to control the network should not affect legitimate download, chat, instant messaging or gaming services.

Yet another ISP that goes beyond considering P2P a traffic burden. It classifies other downloads as "legitimate" downloads as if all of ours are not. No wonder they are killing your connection. I'd dump them as quickly as possible if something else is available. Don't support this kind of company.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15406882 Sun, 05 Feb 2006 09:07:25 EDT Re: P2P won't work hardly at all anymore....PLEASE http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15406721 click_310 : Edit: never mind...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15406721 Sun, 05 Feb 2006 07:57:01 EDT Re: P2P won't work hardly at all anymore....PLEASE http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15406185 Death2U :

Those with talk, talk (like me) should all be pissed off but there is something I don't understand and hope someone can clear up. I use PPlive to watch the football on Sat afternoons

Easy, packet headers. The service you're using is not restricted. Talk talk can't just block ports or it will mess up services other than P2P, they use a packet shaper most likely that inspects headers and patterns of packets sent and received. It sees BT headers and BT gets dropped,
Could try a proxy client that encrypts connections. They work at many Universities that try to kill P2P. It's about the only thing left to do with what I've heard about Talk talk.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15406185 Sun, 05 Feb 2006 02:16:47 EDT Re: P2P won't work hardly at all anymore....PLEASE http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15405164 TalkTalkSuk : Those with talk, talk (like me) should all be pissed off but there is something I don't understand and hope someone can clear up.

I have been without TalkTalk Broadband service now for 8 days, and they are not doing anything. So not only do they restrict you but they also cut your uploads, then cut you off all together.

They say its a BT fault but I dont believe them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15332290 Thu, 26 Jan 2006 06:25:23 EDT Re: P2P won't work hardly at all anymore....PLEASE http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,15301125 Death2U : Yes many P2P'ers are having same problems, including me with Roadrunner, but it's not impossible to get around. Chances are it is your isp, refer to my other post in regards to a person with a very slow connection that drops out. I mention 2 enemies many ISPs have taken to using. Most isp know better than to block this traffic by ports, as you can always on many apps change listening ports and port you establish a connection on. First, you do not need to download this patch the other person gave you a link to, the 10 TCP connections can be forced to almost any value by registry settings in good connection tweakers suck as Cablenut, one of the best connection tweakers and it should be tweaked. Might want to set RWIN value a bit high as peer to peer connections have tremendous latency. Alot of isps block 80 incoming but allow you to establish connection outbound through it and I recommend listen on 81 and mark 80 for the forwarded port as this will carry transfers. My router seems no prob without ports forwarded. Cap upload to reasonable level, but not as low as you may think, an isp can not easily detect that quickly by your upload that you are using P2P. Instead, and this was best thing I even did is limit max connections per download and limit upload connections. I do 2 per download, which is actually much faster and more reliable for me than having unlimited. Your isp detects P2P by hundreds of connections slamming them at once to 1 IP address. That starts trouble and fast. If you can't connect to network period, these ports should help. Oh yes, I tried a Netenforcer network using P2P and it's the biggest enemy of P2P ever created. You may then have to use a program like http tunnel or similar programs to get past "Packet shaping Technology". Tunnels traffic encrypted through 80 and passes through a server to the right destination(a SOCKS capable proxy, only encrypted) And the connections will slam the proxy, which they endorse P2P on, not your isp's routers. It worked at my friend's dorm even with the college internet, so I know it really really works. But do as I said before as it is better not to run a program to fix a program if you can help it.

I find that if I strangle the P2P upload too much (I only have 128kbps to play with) then I'll get a message similar to what you get. If that message comes up then my downloads get very sluggish. To fix the problem I just allow a few more kbps on the upload side - this makes the message disappear and the downloads go faster.

With cable, it's a fine line between uploading enough to keep the downloads fast and uploading too much which slows the downloads down again.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14929304 Fri, 02 Dec 2005 00:08:29 EDT Re: P2P won't work hardly at all anymore....PLEASE HLP http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14928058 87134275 : My hi-speed broadband, Roger's, has also slowed down all P2P traffic....... this should be reason enough to drop them but unfortunately they are the monopoly here in Toronto.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14928058 Thu, 01 Dec 2005 21:21:42 EDT Re: P2P won't work hardly at all anymore....PLEASE http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14891670 dumwaldo : »www.talktalk.co.uk/talktalk/serv···900#faq7
